@gingerw Glad you posted this. I purchased some herbal teas, several have licorice root in them. I wonder how much of the glycyrrhizin ends up in a cup of tea? Guess I can always donate the tea to our church fellowship group. I did have some of the tea to sooth the throat and coughing during a recent cold/flu. It would be wonderful if companies were made aware of the issues they cause for people with high BP. Or, the licorice root for CKD. I think of the amount of sodium being dumped on food when dining out. Many of those foods have 2000-5000 mg of sodium in them, extremely high levels. Seems like a letter writing campaign needs to happen with restaurant companies, food producers and to the NIH and others.
